The battle has now begun in earnest ; Mr. DISRAELrE opening speec h calling up on the Ministerial sid e a speaker no less eminent than Mr. GLADSTONE. That right hon. gentleman en• deavoured, with his customary ability, to turn the aside the force of the direct charges against the Government, by dwellin g upon the official hopes of the Opposition as a party, -lirith that jocularity, which appears to be a favouri te wea pon with our Government at this crisis, he related to the House the anecdote of an old lady and gentleman who were murdered by their servant, and their epitaph saggested that the murderer had done them a kindness by saving them from the "disc om f ort " and " inconvenience" of a natural death. " It is only very recently," said Mr. GLADSTONE, " that I saw this epitaph, and it now strongly occurs to me that th e right hon. gentleman is anxious to perform for the Government the kind offico which the domestic servant performed for that old lady and gentleman." Without pausing to dwell upon the appropriate nature of Mr. GLAD3TONE's comparison between the Government of which he is a member, and "an old lady and gentleman," the HGUE9 was, of course, convulsed with laughter at the anecdote. Mr. GLADSTONE might have remembered, however, that with reference to every Government, as was wittily said of the Czars of Russia, " their natural death is a violent one." No such anecdotes and no such laughter, however, no adroit imputation of party motives or of personal ambition, can avail to set aside the, plain statments and direct charges ad vanced against the Government. "I have shown you," said Mr. DISRAELI, "that the position of England is most embarrassing, is intolerably difficult, is full of humiliations." And who shall gainsay the truth of that exposition ? The lamentable fact is only too patent to all. The leader of the Opposition, again, alluding to the Premier's taunting inquiry as to his (Mr. DISRAELI'S) policy, happily remarked last night—" My answer is, my policy is the honour of England, it is the peace of Europe, and I say the noble lord has betrayed both." To which remark the house naturally responded with " loud cheers." To indicate what should be the foreign policy of the nation—that, said Mr. DISRAELI, "is the duty of no one but the responsible Minister of the Crown. Weil, then, that being so,' con tinued the right hon. gentleman, " we will tell the noble lord what is not our policy. We will not first threaten and then refuse to act. We will not lure on our allies by expectations we mean not to fulfil. And if ever it should be the lot of myself or of any public men with whom I have the honour to act to carry on important negoeiations on behalf of this country, such as the noble lord and his col leagues have had to conduct, I trust it will never be thought by us to be our duty to come to Par liament to announce to the country that we have no allies,' and then declare that England can never act alone.' These, sir, are words which should never have escaped the lips of a British Minister. Sir, I repudiate and reject them. I remember there was a time when, with not a tithe of her present resources, England, inspired with a patriotic cause, triumphantly encountered a world in arms. And I believe that should the occasion arise— should her independence or her honour be assailed or her empire endangered, England would arise in the magnificence of her might and struggle trium. pliantly for those objects which are dear to human life, and for which men live and nations flourish. Bat, sir, I for one will never consent to go to war to extricate Ministers from the consequences of their own indiscretion. It is in this spirit that I have drawn up this address to the Crcwn. I have drawn it up in the spirit in which the Royal Speech was delivered at the commencement of the session. I am ready to vindicate the honour of the country whenever it is necessary ; but I have drawn up these resolutions in the interest of peace." In the interests of Peace, interests dear to us all, but also with a keen sense of the paramount importance of Duty and Honour, the people are now anxiously watching the proceedings of our Parliament. With an eye to the coming elections, the members have a difficult task. They have, however, only to consider well the old adage that Honesty, with Fidelity to alt our pledges and pro mises, is the best policy, and the only one likely to tell with the English public. " Not once er twice, in our rough island story, The path of duty is the way to glory." The removal of a good many of our metropolitan toll gates last Friday was a source of general satis faction, and it is only to be wondered at that our patience did not sooner give way before such an infliction. Whether from sharing SHAISPERE'S opinion of keeping to :he evils that we know, or from the proverbial horror of ratepayers to an in• crease of the rates, it is certain that turnpike trusts and toll gates have long outlived their day, and that they belong to a system and an epoch altogether gone by. They are not in the least in accordance with the spirit of our general legislation, and it amounts almost to an absurdity that when so much is being said about relieving traffic and facilitating communication these establishments should be pre served. They are undoubtedly a very serious hindrance to the passengers and tend greatly to promote confusion and collisions by inducing heavy vehicles or, indeed, vehicles of any kind that can afford to lose time, to go out of their way to avoid the obnoxious toll, and sometimes, as in the case of the bridges, this produces over-crowding of the rival ways. The good work has not, however, been done all at once; and even now the inbabis tants of the southern metropolitan districts rAre loft lamenting not only the inevitable brik . s e toll but ' the turnpike on the high road as well. The report just issued by the arAect committee appointed to inquire into t'ae matter of the abolition gives, however, some encouragement to these ill-used citizens and to the victims of turnpike trusts throughout the country. Scotland and South Wales lave greatly the advantage of England and North Wales in thi s respect, and for the superiority of the southern part of the princi pality, its inhabitants may thank the shade of REBECCA and her followers, which is perhaps not a very g',od moral. Tee extreme inconsistency in the Humber of the county tolls in some parts is easily explained. There is no longer sufficient traffic on the highroads to pay for the expenses of maintaining the road since the diversion of the through traffic by the rilways, and consequently the trustees are forced to increase the number of their bars in order to obtain sufficient returns to keep the road in order. It might be fair enough in the old days for travellers to the north to contri bute to the maintenance of the great highways thither, but in oar time those who habitually travel much about the country pay a tolerably heavy charge towards maintaining another roadway in order, where the tollgates are the stations, and they are not therefore forced by any law of social equity or common sense to contribute to a highway they never use. The whole burden of keeping the roads in good repair and discharging the duties of the turnpike trusts falls therefore upon the local in habitants, who would find it more convenient as well as more sensible to pay the amount required with their half-yearly rates instead of doling it out in twopences and threepences every time they pass up or down the road. We are told in the report that ratepayers often have to discharge the double duty, and to contribute to the mainten ance of the roads, as well as paying the toll. " Cases are not rare of trusts in which the whole produce of the tolls, after payment of the establishment charges, is observed in the payment of the interest of the debt, while arrears accumulate, and the whole burden of the maintenance of the roads is thrown upon the parishes." The establishment charges which are referred to here aro often very heavy. Mr. IVRialiTsoN, a gentleman who has given the committee much information on the subject, esti mates the cost of each gate at £25, and he thinks there are at least four gates in every trust, which is a low estimate, so that, as the number of trusts is more than 1,100, the cost of collection is very great. Another gentleman states that in the Leominster trusts, it takes one half the revenue to pay the ex penses and establishment charges, while the repairs are put upon the perishes. In some districta in the North of England and elsewhere there are excep tional instances in which the retention of the tolls may be considered advantageous, but as a general rule the Sooner they are abolished throughout the country the better. The committee, having thou roughly investigated the matter, have arrived very decidedly at this conclusion, and pronounce the altos lition to be both benefi c i a l and expedient, espec i a ll y if the system now gener a l i n S cotland and Sout h Wales were adopted. Road boards ere appointed, who, by the asaessment of counties, or the consoli daticn ci variona trusts, have greatly lessened the R O AYL ITALIAN OPERA, Covent-garden. Last Week but Three. Mdlle.

Some such change is very advisable, and the public will no doubt readily sub• scribe to it, as they nn questionably coincide in the opinion succinctly expressed by the committee that " Tolls are unequal in pressure, costly in collection, inconvenient to the public, and injurious as causing a serious impediment to intercourse and traffic." The Royal Banquet at the Trinity House was invested with feelings of interest more remarkable than those which ordinarily appertain to similar festivities when graced by the presence of royal and distinguished persons. It wes the first visit of the PRINCE to Trinity House, and he must have felt some emotion in the thought that his late lamented father presided over that institution fcr some years, This is not by any means the first time that the Prince of WALES has taken his father's place in doing honour to societies, associations, and other objects of attraction in arts, literature, and science. On this occasion his Royal Highness went as a guest, but of course every one present accepted his visit as another of those gracious demonstrations which he has so frequently given, and which have associated his name in the memory of the public with all that is genial and cordial in feeling and sympathy. The days are past when princes are shut up in castles and palaces, unable to mix with the world. They are now permitted, by the more enlightened opinions of the day, to mingle occasionally with the amusements, and to study the undertakings which contribute so largely to influence the minds of their generation. It was a peculiar feature in the banquet at the Trinity House that nearly all the speakers were connected with the Government. There were guests who entertained various shades of political opinion, but the duties of oratory devolved on those whom we may suppose have enough talking in the ordinary pursuance of their avocations, if not sometimes a great deal too much. All was very admirably arranged, and the greatest satisfaction appears to have been felt by the assembly. His Royal High ness's observations were brief, but distinguished for appropriateness and the expression of a kindly interest. He observed that it was always a pleasure to the Royal family to contribute to the encourage ment of societies which did service to the country, and of these none were more conspicuous than the Trinity, for the Corporation deserved their gratitude on account of their exertions on behalf of our sol diers and sailors. Lord PALMERSTON always appears to advantage on occasions like this; he possesses a happy gift of speaking to the purpose and making zhe most of whatever subject comes in his way. His remarks on the institution that brought them together were animated and interesting. He pointed out the advantages that had been con ferred on the country by the corporation of which tie was Master. He had heard it said " that the dangers of a voyage from the East Indies were nothing in comparison with those which environed the chops of the Channel. The lights estabilshed by the corporation of the Trinity-house enabled voyagers to avoid those perils, and the institution was therefore entitled to the gratitude of the pub lie." Certainly it is always desirable to adduce some useful services as the effect of the labours of any society or institution, and it must be admitted that, in this respect, Lord PALMERSTON was suc cessful in his attempt to do honour to his friends. roe noble viscount had another opportunity of descanting upon the merits of an associa tion of which he was the chief, for it devolved upon him to propose the health of her AIAJESTY'S Ministers. Of course this cir cumstance occasioned general merriment, and was the paramount joke of the evening, efforaing one of those lively incidents that do more to create hare mony and promote the success of an undertaking than the most elaborate preparations and strenuous endeavours for that object. The noble lord was at great pains to show that this toast might be divested of all political feelings, for he said they were to drink to the physical health only of the Ministers, which concerned the welfare of the community ; for if they remained in office and did not remain in health the " public service would be imperfectly managed." These remarks occasioned the greatest delight to all the company, and without exaggera tion it may be said that this entertainment was one of the most brilliant and successful that have taken place this season, and the Prince of WALES could have no batter opportunity of witnessing the ab sence from political feeling which so eminently dis tinguishes the social gatherings of the present day.

An attempt was made to carry the position by storm, but was repulsed by the natives with severe loss to the British. Colonel Neooth (?) and five officers of the 43d Regiment were killed. The Maori loss was 100. Their leader had since been defeated by friendly natives. HOLSTEIN. ALTONA, JULY 5. The official Gazette of to-day publishes the fol- Review in Hyde Park, A grand review was held in Hyde Park yesterday, before the Prince and Princess of Wales and a brilliant assemblage. The troops on the ground consisted of the urenadier and Coldstream Guards, two batteries of the Royal Horse Artil lery from Woolwich, the sth Fusiliers, the Life Guards, and Horse Guards Blue. The troops went through a series of file and volley firing, and there was a charge by the cavalry, in which, unfortunately, four troopers were dismounted; the whole force then advanced in review order and presented arms to the staff. The firing was remarkable for its re gularity and precision, and the whole of the movements of the troops were executed with great steadiness and concen tration, After these evolutions the whole force marched off the ground with their bands playing. The Princess was accompanied by the Prince and Prin cess Louis of Hesse, the Princess Louise, and the Princess Mary of Cambridge. The Prince of Wales rode immedi• ately after the carriage of the Princess, accompanied by the. Duke of Cambridge, and attended by a very brilliant staff, amongst whom were Sir 'Yorke Scarlett, Lord G. Paget, Colonels Weed and Lambert, Lord F. Paulett, &c. The review was over by twelve o'clock, the 12th Lancers, who had kept the ground, being the last to disappear. HEALTH OF MR.

"It is not," says the Tablet, " on the question of Schleswig-Holstein alone, but on the general policy of the Government that the country will have to decide. If Irish Catholic members do not clearly understand this, we apprehend some of them will learn it to their cost, when they come before their constitu ents as having, with their last vote, supported Lord Pal merston on a question of confidence. And so, let hon. gentlemen look well to their lobby, and may God defend the right." • A SEAMAN DnoWNED.--The Caledonia, 35, iron clad, in charge of Com. Hodges, assistant master attendant of Sheerness Dockyard, arrived at Devonport soon after 10 p.m. on Saturday, to be docked and prepared for the pendant at the Nore. She made a fine passage down, and will be brought into harbour early this morning. During the passage, at anent half-past 11 on Friday morning, when she was off Margate, Richard Barrett, one of the riggers on board from Sheerness Dockyard, was drowned. The Cale donia was going at a high rate of speed, under steam and sail, when a cry was raised of a man overboard. several persons, among whom Barrett was foremost, rushed to lower a boat to proceed to the rescue. Barrett was in the act of stepping from the ship's side into the boat, when the gripes were suddenly let go, and, the boat swinging off, he tell between the boat and the vessel overboard. Efforts were made to rescue him, but unfortunately without success. The original alarm was subsequently found to have been made in error._ lowing : " The Canal Committee, which had assembled at Kiel with the sanction of the Federal Commis sioners, to examine the line projected in 1848 and 1849 from Kiel Harbour to Butte], has received permission from the Holstein Government to undertake the necessary surveys."

The Swedish vessels have received orders to proceel to the Baltic, and are already on their way, while the Norwegian ships—the frigates Kong Sverre and S'Oluf, and the corvette Nidaros—have proceeded to the port of Christiansand, and the gunboats to Horton, whence they came." FRANCE. PARIS, July sth. The Constitutionnel of to-day, in an article signed by M. Paulin Lamayrac says:— "Independent of the publications in the Morning Post, and the denials which they have received, there exists a condition of things which occupies the public mind and which it is useful to discuss frankly. The tendencies to oppose a reactionary policy to modern ideas are under any circumstances likely to exist." The Constitutionnel then proceeds to show that a coalition is impossible, and says "In France the spirit of conquest predominates no more than the revolutionary spirit, - but it is not the same in other countries. Can it be said that ambition is quite foreign to the war which has re commenced ? If a Holy Alliance were really formed, and it would not be an easy task, such a coalition of the past against the present, and of Governments against peoples, would only be dan• gerous to itself."

Pacheco, Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, has just addressed a circular to the diplomatic agents of Spain, explaining the sentiments of the Cabinet of Madrid respecting the coLflict with Peru ; "The Spanish Government formally recognises the Republic of Peru as a free, independent, and sove reign nation; it claims no right of property in the Chinch% island% or any other American territory, G, JULY 5, 1864 tor has it hesitated a moment to disavow M.

But Spain will not give up the Chincha Islands to the Commissioner appointed by the Peruvian Go vernment to receive them until she shall have obtained the satisfaction to which she is entitled. The reparation demanded from Peru is that the Peruvian Government shall declare itself altogether unconnected with the attacks directed against the person of M. Mazarredo, and ready to punish the parties concerned in them, also that it shall consent to receive a commissioner charged to negotiate for justice in the matter of the murders at Talambo. To this circumstance is added an abstract of tk report addressed by M. Mezarredo to the Minis ter of Foreign Affairs, dated 21st June, which gives an account of the dangers to which he was exposed by the hastile manifestations of a certain number of negroes at Panama. The authorities of the isthmus remaiped passive during the tumult, the bead of the police of Panama having declared that if he interfered all the negro population would rise to support the assailants, and that the riot would then assume formidable proportions. It may be that the Peruvian Government has already declared itself a total stranger to these facts, which moreover did not take place within its territory. "The Peruvian Ministry," says the .Epoca of Madrid, " has just been replaced by a Cabinet favourable to a good understanding with the mother country. The first act of the new Ministers will be to send to Spain an ambassa4or invested with full powers." AUSTRIA. A. letter from Vienna, of July 2, says : —ln poli tical oire'es it is still much the question of the recent doings in Kiesingen and Carlsbad. AT Klssingen the two Emperors were much together, and it was often the question between them of the state of things in Poland. The Emperor Alexander said that no Power except Russia, Austria, and Prussia had a right to meddle with Polish matters; and there is reason to believe that the Emperor Francis Joseph spoke in the same Boise. The Czar advised his fellow-sovereign not to press King Christian of Denmark too hardly, and at the same time sought to obtain from him a promise that he in the German Diet would support the claims of the Duke of Oldenburg to the Duchies. The Russian states men and nobles were more reserved than their So vereign, and it soon became evident to the Aus trians that Prince Gorischakoff's feelings towards them had undergone no change. The result of the meeting of the two Emperors was satisfactory, inasmuch as it served to improve their personal relations ; but there is no reason to believe that the entente between their Governments is more cor dial now than it was a month or six weeks ago Count Rechberg went to Carlsbad with the inten tion of doing all in his power to induce M. von Bismark to come to terms with Denmark; but, being weak of purpose, he allowed himself to be persuaded to continue the war. It is not likely that the Prussian Minister obtained from his Austrian colleague a promise to support the claims of tile Duke of Oldenburg, but certain it is that the Aus trian Government has ceased to urge the German Diet to pronounce in favour of his rival, the Duke of Augustenburg. It is now proposed to refer the mat ter to an "Austregal Court" or to a Federal Court of Arbitration, which means that M. von Bismark wishes the question relative to the right of succession to be kept in abeyance for a time. When the Em peror Francis Joseph went from this city to Kissin gen he was eery desirous to put an end to the war with Denmark, but on his arrival in Carlsbad the King of Prussia managed to persuade him that his military honor : was at stake, and that it was his duty as a German Sovereign to inflict further punishment on the renitent Danes. At Carls bad, as at Kissingen, it was the question of Poland, and it has been agreed between the parties to the partition of that country that no foreign State shall be allowed to interfere in behalf of the Poles. No new conventi , in has been entered into between the three Powers, "because the treaty concluded at Munuhengratz in 1832 is still valid.' The treaty in question bits never been published but it is known to me that by it the Northern Powers are bound to assist each other in maintain ing their political position and influence both at home and abroad. While the Emperor and Count Rechberg were at Carlsbad, arrangements were made for the continuance of the war, but I greatly doubt the correctness of the current report relative to the approaching occupation of the island of Runea by the Austrians. It is true that the two large steamers which the Allies have hired ota Ham burg Company are now lying in the Kolding Fiord, bat a well-informed military friend hasgiven me to understand, that for the moment there is no ques tion of an attack being made on any of the Danish islands. At Carlsbad M. von Bietnark proposed that the German Confederation should be invited to take part in the war against the common enemy ; but Count Rechberg replied that the Danish ques tion could become even more dangerous titan it is now if the whole of Germany should take the field against Denmark. If involved in the war, the Germans would be difficult to manage, and it is not beyond the bounds that some of them would turn their arms against their unrighteous rulers. The great German Powers being resolved that the Danes shall pay dearly for their stubbornness, are about to levy contributions in Jutland. Prince Hohenlohtelngelfingen is to act as Prussian commissary in that province, and he less been instructed to get as much as he can out of its unfortunate inkabitents. When first Russia ceded her claims on the Duchies to Oldenburg, the King of Prussia loudly spoke in favour of the Duke of Augustonburg, " but he was eoon brought to reason by M, von Bismark, who now completely rules his Royal Master." The person to whom I am in debted for the information contained in the last sentence 'of the foregoing paragraph is one of the leaders of the reactionary party in Austria, and he very candidly told me that he and all the men of his opinions greatly admired M. von Bismark, " whose energy and statesmanship are on a par." The gentleman in question said that Count Red beck bad just the same political instincts as M. von Bismark, but that he had not the moral courage openly to display them. "We live in the hope," said my very candid interlocutor, " that M. von Bismark will soon put an end to the constitutional regime in Prussia, and that the other German Ministers will imitate his example." Such a reactionary wind is blowing here just nhw, that M. von Sohmerling is denounced as a "Progres siat,' but he hardly has more claim to that title than had his rredeceesors, Count Goluehowski and Baron Bach. The Constitution of his framing is still extant; but hither it has led to no good, as the lieges have the disadvantages of a constitu tional form of Government without its advantages. The new State machinery is very complicated and enormously expensive, but I am unable to perceive that it works better than that which has been set aside. When first the Reichsrath met it was hoped and believed that it would steadfastly uphold tae rights of the people; but during the last session it became evident to all that the elect of the German part of the Austrian nation were content to follow the lead given by the Minister of State. In former times it was no easy matter to get an Austrian order, but during the last few years they have been plentiful as blackberries. There are now in the Reichsrath many supporters of the Go vornmeut who obtained the bit of riband which they wear in the buttonhole of their coat by sacri ficing the political opinions which they originally entertained, or rather professed to entertain. The order usually given to such worthies is that of the Iron Crown, Since it has become known to the public that the paltry sum of 1,500,000 formes is to be raised by means of lottery tickets at 10 farina great depression has been felt, es there is a presen timent that the finances of the empire are going to the bad. M. von Planer was opposed to the mea sure, but he was overruled by his colleagues, as they wished to make themselves agreeable to the Ens peror, who is desirous that the hospital named after the Crown Prince, his son, saall be speedily finisheq. The statesman who brought forward and carried messure which has done incalceable injury to the credit of Austria is M. von Lasser, the Minister of Administration or of the Interior. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day). COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Mr. Commissioner Ilolroyd was the sitting commissioner, and was occupied during the greater part of the day in hear ing private applications in the commissioners'-room. The cases in court were n^t of the slightest interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH STREET. A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH BEING IN UNLAWFUL POSSESSION OF A WATCH AND CHAIN OF IHE VALUE OF £ICO3—SINGULAR CASE,—Joseph Hcod, a private of the Grenadier Guards, St George's Barracks, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt, by inspector Richard Tanner, of the Detective Department, Scotla&.-yard, with being in pos session of a gold watch road chain of the value of £lOO. Inspector Tanner said that, in cmsequence of a commu nication from CelentA Bruce ha went to St George's Bar racks, and the prisoner was brought before him. Be told the prisoner that ho was a police officer, and asked him if he had any objection to tell him where he got the watch and chain woich ho produced. The prisoner said, " Yesterday afternoon I was outside the barrack gate, and I saw a gentleman there, and ho asked me to have some thing to drink, and I had some rum with him, and he took me to his house, and he then made me a wescnt of the watch ana chain." The watch and chain were gold, of the value of £lOO, and the prisoner said he did not know where the gentleman lived. On the prisoner being taken to the station ho repeated the statement he had previously made to him, Sergeant David Fullerton, the sergeant of the prisoner's company, stated that seeing the prisoner in possession of the watch and chain, and hearing his account of how he became possessed of them, he communicated with Col. Bruoe, and information was given to the police. Tyrwhitt inquired if it was known who the watch belonged to, and the inspector said it was the property of Count Waldstein, who resided in Mount-street, Grosvenor square. He saw Count Waldstein last night, and he was too ill to attend. His staterient was that he was robbed of the watch and chain in a broil with some soldiers in a street at the back of the Nat one! Gallery, Trafalgar-square (Hemming's-row). Mr Tyrwhitt said ho should remand the prisoner for a week, but would. take bail for him. Inspector Tanner said he W 43 informed the prisoner's time of service had nearly expired. It was stated in court that for some reason it was not ex pected the Couut would attend. WES MINSTER. EFFECTS OF TILE REVlEW.—Charles Lewis, an interpre ter of languages, was charged before Mr Selre with being drunk and riotous in Princes-street. Westminster. Police-sergeant Buckley, B 17, stated that about five o'clock yesterday afternoon he heard an uproar in Princes street, when on going there he found the prisoner, who was surrounded by several persons. He was bleeding from the nose and eye. As ho was the worse for liquor, and was very noisy, witness tried to induce him. to go home, and said that he would assist his wife to take him home. He got as far as the Broad Sanctuary, when he said he would not go any further. Witness was then obliged to go to the hospital for a cretcher. Mr Selfe (to the prisoner)—What do you say to being drunk ? Prisoner—l went to the Review with some friends and had a few glasses to drink, which must have overcome me. Had I not have been interfered with I should have gone home very quietly, but I was knocked down. I should like to know who knocked me down. Mr Selfe—Oh no. ,It was the ale which knocked you down. You have been here before ; you are an excitable man when sober, but when you have got a glass or two to drink you are much worse, I must fine you. The prisoner was fined Ns., or in default 7 days. THAMES. A SPECIMEN OP THE EAST END RABBLE AT THE LONDON HOSPITAL.—WiIIiam nnett, cooper, Richard Leftwich, painter and glazier, Ann Robertson and Sarah Gifford, all from the neighbourhood of Limehouse fields, were brought before Mr Partridge, charged with disgraceful conduct in the Whiteohapel-road, and assaulting Jesse Button, a police constable, No 359 K. Yesterday afternoon, at half-past 4 o'clock the prisoners were among the crowd assembled in front of the London Hospital to witness the departure of the Prince and Princess of Wales. The prisoners were very noisy, and endea vouring to excite confusion. Bennett made use of most disgusting languago,and insulted several respectable females. One lady remonstrated with him, and ho laid his hand on her shoulder, and made use of some insulting epithets. She called Button, a police constable, standing near, and the prhoner swore at her, and said "If you can't be ,r to be touched, ana can't bear a little slang, 3 ou should not come to the East." Button requested the prisoner to behave himself and not make a disturbance The prisoner imme diately struck the constable on the chin. The officer took him into custody, and he made a violent resistance, and kicked Button on the knee. A host of policemen went to the assistance of Button, and took the prisoner away. Left wich jumped between Bennett and the policeman, and tried to rescue him. At this time the two females, whose conduct was singularly audacious, were throwing stones at the police. Some of the stones struck the police men, but they were not materially injured. Mr Pat tridge said the conduct of Bennett was disgusting and unmanly, and sentenced him to six weeks' imprison ment and hard labour. Be fined Leftwich 20s, and the two females, who said they made up trousers, lOs each.

Address of Prince Frederick Charles to the Army. HEAD-QUARTERS, APENRADE, June 30. Priuca Frederick Charles of Prussia, the new Commander-in-Chief, has issued the following ad. dress to the allied troops : Brave Soldiers of the Allied Army, After my Krug and master had temporarily en trusted me with the conduct of the chief command during the suspension of arms, it has pleased his Majesty to appoint me commander-in-chief a few days ago. My relations to you are no longer tem porary, bat lasting. I have opened the second part of this campaign by permitting tho valiant army corps 1 have com manded until now, and with which I have gained but victories, to conquer Alsen under my own eye. rtais expedition is an instance of the passage of an, arm of the sea, unique in the history of war—a storm by water of well defended entrenchments. May this commencement be a good example for all the troops which may subsequently have the honour to take part in conflicts. May this commencement further serve to gain for myself personally that confidence from your leaders and yourselves without which it is impossible for me to plan brilliant successes in war, May, finally, the unity hitherto subsisting bed tween the Imperial Royal and the Prussian troops, to the delight of our respective masters and the blessing of our country, to the honour of our armies and to the terror of our enemies, remain unimpaired as here►ofore. Three cheers, therefore, for the Emperor—and thrice hurrah for the King! FREDERICK CHARLES, (ir l eneral of Cavalry. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE, RAILWAY AND PUBLIC COMPANIES IN PARLIAMENT.
